"Years of water erosion needed fill and grading. Three other contractors had come and promised estimates. Crickets. Russ came out and gave us an estimate and did the work quickly and professionally. Easy to work with and did the job when he said he would. Very satisfied. Highly recommended. Definitely hire him again if needed."

"5 STAR LANDSCAPING/HARDSCAPING COMPANY!!! LOOK NO FURTHER!! From Zack (the company owner), to Laura (head of office operations), to James (the on-site manager) to the entire crew at the job site----the whole team at ZR Landscaping & Grading is AMAZING to work with!! I found ZR on the Angi site. I called the office and Laura set up a meeting in a timely manner with Zack to visit our home to go over our landscaping/hardscaping needs. Within 15 minutes of touring the property with Zack, my husband and I knew we wanted him to do the work for us----he understood our vision and had terrific ideas about the possibilities for our yard. When we found out that the company had done work for the Biltmore Estate, we were sold! ZR first installed a flagstone patio in the back yard, then a wall and cement pad as an extension off our driveway. They did such an excellent job that we knew we had to engage the team for the â really bigâ job of revamping our front yard. Our front yard is a slope which consisted of a couple of trees, some ill-placed bushes and loads of mulch---basically a hill of mulch. Not pleasing to the eye at all. Plus we had drainage issues. Zack met with us to review the job. I had been doing some research and had come up with a plan----it consisted of a combination of hardscaping and landscaping---and I provided photos of examples I had found online. I wanted terracing, steps, walls, flagstone, and LOADS of varying plants---my dream landscape! Zack understood exactly what we wanted. Our job was scheduled and in the weeks before the start date, I put together my plant â wish listâ . There were over 50 types of plants/shrubs/trees on that list! Laura worked really hard to make the wish list a reality for me. She spent so much time contacting different suppliers to find as many of the plants as possible. It being later in the growing season, this was no easy feat. She researched plant types and varieties and passed along her knowledge to me as well as advice from suppliers. Once all the plants had been purchased, she made sure that the team on-site had a list of what plants were to go in shade versus sun to help organize the placement. Laura went above and beyond as she knew that the plants were the most important part of the whole project for me and I am so indebted to her. The job started on a Monday and the team completed the job in exactly 1 week, even with rain delays and lots of mud---incredible! We now have a grand stone staircase, an upper and a lower natural stone retaining wall, 2 smaller natural stone retaining walls in the middle of the hill which all give the terracing effect we were looking for. The concrete sidewalk that leads to the front porch was transformed into a flagstone walkway and it ties into the stone used for the walls. All of the drainage issues were resolved by the installation of river rock gullies and revamping the old drain system. And did I mention the plants?! ð Loads of wonderful beauties planted. The hill of mulch is no more---it has been replaced by a gorgeous, artistic landscape. If you are looking for a company to go above and beyond, to give you a truly top notch experience, call ZR. You will know it is done right, with integrity and honesty. Thanks for reading!"

"Brad contacted me, met with me as planned. Looked at the job, gave me a quote, we set the date and time. He was in constant contact with me because of weather delays. The day of the job, Brad and crew arrived on time and prepared for the job. He completed the job ahead of schedule. They even did some extra work at no extra charge. Very professional and super nice group of guys. Already have him looking at my next project."

"Ryan removed some tress from my yard. He was prompt and professional and very reasonably priced. He took extra care to not disturb the existing lawn with the equipment. Went above and beyond to clear the area of all debris. Would highly recommend."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

As a general rule, the protected area should be about 1½ times as wide as the canopy of the tree’s leaves. This digging measurement can vary by tree species and the age of the tree. Of course, that can be a lot of fencing for larger trees, which is why our first step is about making difficult decisions on which trees to save.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.
